Actually, we are talking about the same workflow. The "client" can be an
external BigCo or the marketing dept of the same company. The problem is
having to deal with analog, as you put it, when digital is accessible
and quite capable of doing the job. Unless you are going to end up with
the post-its and gum, those contraptions will have to be converted to
digital at some point anyway, more likely you'll probably have to
maintain two sets of
(analog/digital) assets at any given moment. My contention is that
unless you are thinking aloud (by yourself or with another person) at
your desk, there really is not much of a reason to mess with analog
stuff to begin with, external or internal. What's good/better about
digital is that it scales infinitely better than analog: it integrates
asset management, documentation, presentation, commentary and edit
trails in a way that analog just can't match. So why bother with the
cellulose stuff at all?
